StephensonetalData

These are the raw data from the experiment described in the paper. The variables are as follows: fish = fish identity; sex = fish sex; infected = whether or not the fish was infected; date.inf = the date the fish was infected; dayofinf = the number of days post infection that the fish was tested; gyrocount = the number of parasites on the fish at the time of testing; length = fish length; weight = fish weight; drop = the order of the ball drop; position = whether the fish was closer or further away from the ball when it dropped; distance = the distance covered in mm during the 60s of the escape response. NB this file only contains the response data - fish and ball drops that failed to respond have been excluded, as per our original analysis.
